Relevant atomic orbitals probed by XAS experiments. XAS at the Ru L-edge is characterized by transitions between Ru 2p orbitals and molecular orbitals containing primarily Ru 4d character. XAS at the S K-edge is characterized by transitions between S 1s orbitals and molecular orbitals that are an antibonding combination of S 3p and Ru 4d orbitals (“π* MOs” indicated by solid box) and higher-energy ligand-centered orbitals
